Sunday sorting -
Sunday I had fun sorting through the Big Box of Magical Things -
First pulling the larger pieces out and setting them aside -
In the pile on the left are good sized chunks of calicos -
The center pile has Elvis - gotta love Elvis - LOL -
The pile on the right has various fabrics including some cool "Chicago Bears" -
My grandsons are fans of another team - so I thought of using that on the back of a Halloween quilt - the colors are right - LOL - ;))
Then I sorted the rest -
I made a pile of batiks - for another confetti quilt -
Other chunks roughly by color and size -
A pile of children and novelty prints -
Triangles -
Bits and pieces -
Solids -
Homespuns - and plaids -
Strips of various sizes -
And block parts -
I have some scrap quilts that have been on my "to do" list for a while -
So I pulled out a couple of my dies -
And will start with the larger scraps -
Working my way down to the smaller ones -
To see if I can get a head start on those scrap quilts -
And make some sort of a dent in this Big Box of Magical Things - LOL - ;))
Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
I need to take at least one box or drawer or bag of magical things and do some scrap busting too.
ReplyDeleteI am sure my scraps are breeding.
Way to go girl....I have a box and/or bag(s) to take care of myself. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteIsn’t it a good feeling to sort fabric? I enjoy handling fabric, so I do that too. “Magical things”? I’m not so sure, or else they don’t possess the magical power to STAY sorted! Lol!
ReplyDeleteI am completely overwhelmed with fabric, from yardage to tiny scraps. What die shapes will you use?
ReplyDeleteI have been sorting through books and magazines. I have quite the collection from over 35 years of quilting and 50 years of crocheting!
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what I will do with the "don't want" pile that keeps getting bigger and bigger by the day!
After the books & magazines I get to start on the "magical mystery totes". . . and who knows what I will find in there! LOL
Have a lovely day.
Looks like you are having fun! Can't wait to see what beautiful things you create.
